The Great Martial Saint!

In the northern border of Daqian, the Snow God Palace.

The lingering black ice storm raged, and the ice crystals cut through the space like blades.

A barefoot girl walks on the snow-capped mountains, her silver hair pouring down like moonlight, and ice crystal lotuses appear with every step she takes.

Wherever you go, the ice and snow are silent and the storms retreat.

Snow God Palace, the Black Ice Saint, Xuan Yueli.

The northern border of Daqian, Beihai.

The North Sea is vast and shrouded in mist, with islands and glaciers emerging faintly.

On the glacier, there was a strange young man wearing black ice scale armor. With a shake of his arms, large chunks of glacier fell off.

Beihai Chamber of Commerce, Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, Li Cangming.

In the southern border of Daqian, there is a major spiritual practice sect, the Qixing Temple.

Amidst the sharp cliffs and the rolling sea of ​​clouds, under an ancient pine tree, there was a young Taoist sitting cross-legged, wearing a Taoist robe with black and white patterns, and a half-broken dead pine branch stuck in his hair.

"Che'er, Qianlong is ranked thirty-ninth, two places lower than last time. Are you being lazy again?"

An old Taoist's voice was heard in the sea of ​​clouds.

"Master, it's unfair. This time I'm definitely more careful than last time. There are just too many evildoers of the same generation."

The young man opened his eyes, his pair of distinct black and white eyes revealed a lazy look, and he smiled bitterly and cried out that he was wronged.

Seven Stars Temple, Yunxiao Taoist, Yun Wuche!

The southern border of Daqian, the Ruan family.

In a gorgeous colorful cloud pavilion, a pretty girl was eating cakes with a puffed face. Before she could swallow the cakes in her mouth, her pair of delicate little hands like white jade grabbed two large pieces of cakes.

On the gorgeous and exquisite long table next to it, there was a guqin placed casually, with nine rings of bells and spring thunder at its tail.

The girl has chubby cheeks, a slender figure, lively eyes, and a hint of playfulness and cuteness in her naivety.

The Ruan family in the southern border has passed down music from generation to generation, and is a famous family in the world!
The pearl of the Ruan family, the legacy of the Great Sage, and Ruan Yushu.

The eastern border of Daqian, Shenshui Palace.

A black-haired young man wearing a divine water robe and holding a tidal wheel was walking on the waves of the divine water that was flowing backwards.

"Eleventh!"

"I have been practicing hard for half a year, but I have neither made any progress nor retreated!"

"Chen Xuanli, next time I will definitely surpass you and rank among the top ten!"

Shenshui Palace, Holy Son of Tide, Yehanxing.

The eastern part of Daqian, the holy land of swordsmanship, Tianjian Pavilion.

At Wenjian Peak and Broken Sword Cliff, the fragments of seventy-two ancient swords were circling, and the sound of swords ringing was endless.

A white-haired young man sat cross-legged with his hair flying in the wind. A three-foot jade sword appeared out of thin air, and with a clanging sound, the ancient sword bowed down.

Tianjian Pavilion, Taixu Sword Master, Jiang Wuya!

The eastern border of Daqian, Xuanmen.

A young man was dozing off in front of a wooden table, and one could hear the faint sound of his breathing.

"Boom! Boom!"

As the mountain gate bell rang, the young man shuddered all over and immediately woke up. He hurriedly took out a book and started reading.

After a dozen breaths, an old man in a simple long robe walked in from outside the door.

The old gentleman was meticulous and his first glance fell on the young man.

To be exact, it was on his books.

"Xuan Li, you hold it upside down."

"Oh oh." The young man responded repeatedly, as if he had just realized something, and quickly turned the book over.

The true teachings of Xuanmen, the tenth hidden dragon, Chen Xuanli.

The western border of Daqian, the southwestern territory, the Five Poison Sect.

"Junior Sister Yiren, congratulations!"

The pale, aloof man, with his purple lips pressed into a straight line, was shrouded in a cold aura that kept strangers away. Only when he looked at the woman in front of him did he reveal a rare hint of intimacy.

Not far from the man, stood a woman in a black dress and a black veil. Her hair was hanging low in a bun, fixed diagonally with a silver hairpin. A few strands of black hair fell on the side of her neck, gently fluttering in the night breeze, adding a bit of broken beauty.

The half-covered black veil half-hid her cold and beautiful face, like a flower in the mist, making it hard to see clearly. Only a pair of eyes were left, like a cold pond, or an abyss, revealing a beautiful demeanor in the unpredictable.

From a distance, it looks like a datura blooming in the dark night, so cold and beautiful that it is breathtaking.

In response to the man's congratulations, the woman said nothing, but just looked at the night quietly.

The wind tonight seems to be more desolate than ever before.

She was born with a strange poison.

This poison is difficult to cure. Even those who are accomplished in martial arts will die if they come into contact with it rashly.

As her cultivation level increased, the poison became more and more toxic.

Anyone below the Martial Arts Grandmaster would surely die if they came into direct contact with him!
Indirect contact, life is at stake!

Her poison skills are controllable, but the strange poison she carries is difficult to control.

Anything she touches will be highly poisonous, and those with insufficient cultivation will die if they touch it!

From childhood to adulthood, she had no one close to her except her master and senior brother.

But until now, even the eldest senior brother could only look at her from afar.

With the eldest brother's level of cultivation, although he is not afraid of the poison in her body, but living in the same space for a long time will also affect the essence of his cultivation. Ten or twenty days of detoxification and recuperation will delay his cultivation too much!

The Five Poison Sect was famous for its poisons, but they were afraid of the poison in her body. This was really too ridiculous!
With the background of the Five Poison God Sect, they could solve the strange poison in her body to a certain extent. But this also meant that it would affect her talent and foundation.

The matter was left unresolved.

Fortunately, the master gave her a protective robe that could weaken the effects of the poison to a certain extent. Otherwise, wherever she went, no grass would grow.

Although this poison endowed her with supreme qualifications, it also brought her endless troubles.

Sad and ridiculous.
There was an unspeakable loneliness in the cold eyes of the woman in the black dress.

This world.
Is there anyone who is not afraid of the strange poison in her body?
A glimmer of barely visible hope flashed in the eyes of the woman in the black dress.

If there is such a person in the world, then she
The woman in the black dress was lost in thought when the man's voice interrupted her.

"Junior sister Yiren, you are ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List this time. Master will definitely give you a reward, which may help to further alleviate the strange poison in your body!"

"I hope it will be as you say, brother."

The woman lowered her eyes slightly, and her voice was like ice in a cold pond.

The Five Poison Sect, the contemporary saint, Dugu Yiren!

The western border of Daqian, Yaowang Valley.

In a green valley, there is a large medicinal field. A woman is walking among the medicinal fields, bending down from time to time to check the quality of the medicinal herbs.

"This Xuanxin lotus is ripe, and it's time to pick it."

As the frosty wide sleeves fluttered, an emerald green sachet emerged.

Full of greenery and vitality.

Yaowang Valley, contemporary secret, Lu Mengyao.

Daqian Zhongzhou, the nine gates of heaven.

There was a young Taoist in a plain robe, holding a wine gourd, drinking heartily. At the end, he wiped his soaked chin with the sleeve of his robe.

"happy!"

"I still have to drink Green Bamboo Spirit Ant Wine, anything else won't taste good!"

The young Taoist smiled, his expression showing satisfaction.

Tianjiumen, Tianjiudaozi, Fenglingyin.

"Wang Chen! I have taught you everything I should teach you. Now it's up to you!"

In front of a cloud hut in the vast cloud mountain, an old man spoke to a noble young man.

"I don't have any other wishes. I just hope that when the Hidden Dragon Ranking is updated next time, I can see your name in the top ten."

"Wang Chen will definitely live up to Master's expectations."

The young man looked reluctant and spoke respectfully.

There was no hint of embarrassment in his words, only endless confidence.

This is the unique spirit of young people.

"Congratulations, young master, you are ranked eighth among the Hidden Dragons!"

Inside the Blood Sea Demon Palace, people in blood-colored robes congratulated in unison.

At the top of the Demon Palace, there lay a young man in a blood-red robe with golden patterns.

"Qu Feiyan! You can't escape from my grasp! This young master's Taoist partner can only be you!"

The young man had an evil look on his face, with a strange blood color in his pupils. Shadows appeared around him, like the shadow of a blood demon.

The young master of the Blood Prison Sect, Yin Shangjin.

Righteousness, Demonicness, Evilness, Pacification Division, Qiankun Division, Daqian Military, Aristocratic Family
As the top list of geniuses in the Daqian Dynasty, the update of the Hidden Dragon List has touched the hearts of countless people.

Not only the major forces were paying attention, but also some major sects, big families in states, chamber of commerce alliances, and powerful masters who were aware of the Hidden Dragon List also made purchases and made inquiries when the Hidden Dragon List was updated.

However, unlike the Dragon and Tiger List and the Rookie List, the Hidden Dragon List is expensive, and not all Grandmasters have the courage to buy it.

The Hidden Dragon List is not recorded in books, but in jade stones with special characteristics of the Tianji Tower. Compared with books, jade is more convenient to record, and through specific means, it can be spread more quickly.

Generally speaking, those who have access to the Hidden Dragon List are at least at the Grandmaster level. However, there are also a small number of pseudo-Grandmasters who are wealthy and keen on this and will have corresponding information.

However, there are also some Grandmasters who have limited future potential. Although they are equally curious about the Hidden Dragon Prodigy, they will not buy every issue of the Hidden Dragon List.

There are also some forces that are small in scale and financially constrained. They are also curious about the new list of potential geniuses, but considering practical factors, they may not be willing to spend the money.

But this situation will naturally not occur in a heritage force with a deep foundation.

For example, the Nangong family in Qingling Prefecture in the southern border got the latest issue of the Hidden Dragon List at the same time as the Hidden Dragon List was updated.

Nangong Liu looked at the latest issue of the Hidden Dragon Ranking and saw the name of Mang Dao Chen Pingan on it. Recently, the news that Mang Dao was unparalleled in talent and had broken through to the Grandmaster level also reached her ears through the Long'an Business Road.

Mang Dao is a man of extraordinary talent, and is known as the number one prodigy in Canglong State in the past two thousand years!

It has to be said that Mang Dao Chen Pingan, at the age of 24, achieved the status of Yu Heng Grandmaster, and he really deserves the title of a demon and genius!
The Gu family was indeed wise in getting such a promising son-in-law.

but
Compared to the Gu family who relied on external forces and used the family's top genius to win over the Rough Blade Chen Pingan, their Nangong family was undoubtedly much stronger.

The son-in-law that the Gu family lured away with their noble daughter is a freak of genius, and their Nangong family has produced a freak of genius with amazing talent and genius!

Others may not know, but as a core elder of the Nangong family, she obviously knows that Nangong Wan, the proud daughter of their Nangong family, had secretly broken through more than half a year ago, condensed the flower of spirituality, and became the Yuheng Grandmaster.

When Nangong Wan made the breakthrough, she was not even 24 years old. In terms of talent, she was better than the Rough Blade Chen Pingan!
In addition, Nangong Wan's practice of the remaining fragments of martial arts was extremely miraculous. Although there was a danger of it being difficult to continue, her combat power was overwhelming compared to those of the same realm.

In addition, Nangong Wan has taken longer to break through, and her combat power may be even higher than that of Mang Dao Chen Pingan!
However, this matter is very secretive and outsiders don’t know about it!
Therefore, although Nangong Wan is a genius with amazing talent, she is not included in the Hidden Dragon List!
And this is also the family's plan, in order to keep a low profile!

With Nangong Wan's talent, as long as he can practice steadily, he will definitely become a Fengyun Grandmaster. Even more, if he can complete the remaining parts of the technique, he may become a Fengyun Grandmaster in the future.
Thinking of this, Nangong Liu smiled and sighed sincerely.

"Although the Canglong Gu family has great fortune, it is far inferior to my Nangong family!"

"According to the family's plan, the incomplete skills that Wan'er practiced may be able to be completed!"

Xuanling Prefecture.

"Mother, look, Mang Dao is also on the list!"

A girl with fair skin and bright eyes pointed at the information shown on the jade stone, her voice as silvery as a bell carrying surprise.

"Mang Dao?" Next to the girl stood a white-haired old woman, her face full of traces of time, wearing a simple gray dress.

"Seventy-seventh? Ying'er, how come his ranking is higher than yours!?"

The old woman's face was full of confusion.

"I don't know." The girl also had a look of surprise on her face.

The old woman read Chen Ping'an's detailed introduction carefully from beginning to end.

The old woman's eyes flickered, and a guess emerged in her mind: "Back in Northern Cang..."

"Hidden Dragon Ranking, No. 77!"

Xue Shijing, the head of the Xue family, was shocked as he looked at the information displayed on the jade.

In Canglong Prefecture, Chen Ping'an, the Rough Knife, is appointed as the garrison commander of Beicang and the candidate for the director of the Prefecture's Pacification Division.
He has mastered the supreme magic sword, the top magic dragon body movement, the magic soul-breaking sword technique, the Vajra Palm, the Flying Star Sword Technique, the Golden Bell Cover, the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training, the Iron Shirt and other skills.
A genius, he broke through the realm of Grandmaster in Xiaopan Mountain in Canglongzhou City. After breaking through the realm of Grandmaster, he defeated the senior Grandmaster, Blood Bat Wei Yiqi, on Xiaopan Mountain, showing the powerful combat power of the middle stage of Yuheng! With full power burst, he may be the best at this level!
As a newly promoted Grandmaster, he showed such fighting power. Not only was he gifted, but his talent and skills were also amazing. As for his age, he might be able to make it to the top 20 of the Hidden Dragon List one day!
The information displayed on the jade was extremely detailed. It not only recorded the events at Xiaopan Mountain, but also included Chen Ping'an's previous deeds in the important town of Beicang, such as the abolishment of Canglong's special envoy Qi Guangshan, and the Wind and Rain Blade Yan Sheng. In addition, there were also the encirclement and suppression of all the demons at Sanqi Mountain, the killing of the disciples of the old man Qi Jue, the display of power at Wufeng Mountain City, and so on.

It can be said that basically all of Chen Ping'an's deeds since he started practicing martial arts have been reviewed.

In terms of the level of detail, it is far above the rookie list!
In addition, there is also a detailed interpretation of the level of Chen Ping'an's practice, and more specific analysis of some key points.

For example, Chen Ping'an has perfected the Dragon-Swimming Body Skill, and he has performed miraculous outbursts during battles, as well as judging the power of different moves.

It has to be said that the Hidden Dragon List is expensive, and there is a reason for its high value.

The records of each of the 108 Hidden Dragon Prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are based on this specification, and there are also detailed analyses of martial arts moves and judgments and measurements of combat power.

Tianji Tower wants to organize so much information, which must not only be accurate but also timely. One can imagine the effort and energy required.

In addition, it requires not only hard work and energy, but also a lot of investment.

In the world of martial arts, sometimes intelligence is valuable!
For example, in some major trading cities, there is no shortage of intelligence trading businesses.

In some black markets, this intelligence transaction is also a very popular and long-lasting good business.

Ruyibao Pavilion and Tongbao Tower both have intelligence-related businesses.

Some valuable intelligence can often be sold for extremely lucrative profits.

Some rare and extremely useful information can even be sold at a sky-high price if it meets the right customer!

The intelligence business has a very wide coverage, and it also has specific subdivisions.

For example, there is basic popularization, understanding of current news, inquiries into some secrets, and some customized products.

Intelligence transactions also have many rules. Some transactions can reveal customer information, which is often known by the other party during the transaction process. The other party then takes advantage of the situation and launches a series of countermeasures.

The channel party also reaped double the benefits!
This matter was communicated in advance and the rules were informed.

If you want to keep customer information confidential and decide whether the transaction intelligence is sold or not, you will need to spend a greater amount of money to secure the transaction.

Some trading parties will perform transaction preservation in order to ensure information asymmetry and achieve certain goals. However, some trading parties will not perform transaction preservation due to their limited wealth, or because they are lucky, or because the other party does not know, etc.

The matter is intertwined and there are games within games. It is extremely complicated!
"The evaluation of Mang Dao on the Hidden Dragon List is so high!" Looking at the detailed evaluation revealed by the jade stone, the expressions of many elders of the Xue family present changed.

With Mang Dao's strength and talent, they had no doubt that Mang Dao Chen Ping'an would not be able to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List. They also thought that Mang Dao Chen Ping'an's ranking would not be at the bottom, but they did not expect that once Chen Ping'an was on the list, he would be ranked 77th directly!
"Rough knife!"

"Seventy-seven!"

Like the Xue family, the Wang family also felt complicated when they learned of Chen Ping'an's potential dragon ranking.

If you are under fifty and have broken through the barriers and achieved Grandmaster status, then it is true that you have a chance to impact the Hidden Dragon List!

But this does not mean that as long as one is of the right age and reaches the Grandmaster level, one will definitely be able to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List!
Any one of the 108 Hidden Dragon Prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List is a true leader in the contemporary Daqian Dynasty!

Anyone who can reach this level is probably at least at the top level among those in the early stage of Yuheng!
Sometimes, it is normal for a genius like him whose combat power is comparable to that of a mid-stage Yuheng to be at the bottom!

The value of Chen Ping, the Mang Dao, being ranked 77th on the Hidden Dragon List is self-evident!

Some peerless geniuses, although they are fortunate enough to become grandmasters before the age of fifty, are only included in the secondary list of potential dragons due to their fighting power.

Although the names are recorded in the Qianlong sub-list, there is no detailed ranking.

We will just periodically introduce some geniuses who have the potential to be on the Hidden Dragon List!

For example, judging by a certain battle record, if someone has recently defeated or killed someone, he or she is expected to make it to the Potential Dragon Ranking. Another example is judging by the cultivation method, if one has mastered a certain magical skill to perfection, his or her combat power is expected to rise to a higher level, and he or she will have a chance to make it to the Potential Dragon Ranking.

And so on!

For example, after a genius breaks through to the Grandmaster level, he will first be included in the Qianlong Vice List, and then slowly come to the fore and appear on the list of geniuses who are expected to be on the Qianlong Main List.

Make one final push to get on the Hidden Dragon List. This is the normal process and steps to get on the list!

There are very few geniuses who can directly rush onto the Qianlong list without being included in the secondary list!
As for people like Mang Dao Chen Ping'an, who just made it onto the list and directly entered the top 80, they are even rarer!

To say that it is rare is no exaggeration!

In addition, more than half of the geniuses who were included in the Qianlong sub-list and promoted, saying that they had the hope of being on the Qianlong main list, were eventually lost in the crowd and failed to succeed.

Some were surpassed by latecomers, while others retired due to age constraints.

The best among the sub-lists have finally made it to the Hidden Dragon List, but this doesn’t mean they can just relax!

Because, in the sub-list and outside the sub-list, countless geniuses are eyeing your position.

Everyone is working hard and everyone is making progress.

Even if you try your best, there is still a possibility of being surpassed and failing the exam, let alone if you slack off a bit!

Sometimes, if you fail the exam, it is not because you did not work hard enough, or because you did not make progress.
Some people progress faster than you!

If you take one step and he takes one and a half steps, then he can surpass him and take your place!
Even if you take three steps, you may not necessarily stay on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, because some people take five steps!

It may not be on the secondary list, it may also be on the secondary list!

The ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is not always moving forward, it is also possible to move backward! Once you move backward to a certain point, you will be dismally dropped from the list!
But no matter what, with Chen Ping'an's current ranking, he is ranked 77th among the hidden dragons.

In the next six months, even if he makes no progress, he can ensure that he will remain on the list!

This kind of implicit sense of relaxation is not possessed by other potential geniuses at the bottom of the list!
"Rough Knife"

Some elders of the Wang family felt lost and sighed, and they felt a little jealous and envious of the Gu family's fortune.

"After many years, another Hidden Dragon Prodigy has emerged from my Canglong Province!"

"Qianlong ranks seventy-seventh! It's a few places higher than I expected!"

"With the status of Mang Dao, after waiting for a few issues of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he will definitely be able to advance to a higher position!"

"happy!"

"."

Compared to other forces, the Gu family today is undoubtedly full of celebration!

A potential dragon genius was born under their witness.

Although Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is not a blood descendant of the Gu family, he is the Gu family's son-in-law.

With the relationship with Gu Qingcheng, Mang Dao is the son-in-law of their Gu family!
When seeing the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List, Gu Qingchan's eyes sparkled with joy.

As the elder in the Gu family who has had the longest and most frequent contact with Chen Pingan, Gu Qingchan is sincerely happy for Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan accepted the inheritance of the Ba Dao, and despite the incomplete inheritance, he practiced it to the entry level.

With his aptitude in the Dao of the Sword, it would not take long for him to master the Overlord Sword to a minor degree. Coupled with his progress in the realm of martial arts, by then, Chen Ping'an's ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking would surely move up a few places!

How long will it take?
Gu Qingchan wasn't quite sure.

Two years?

three years?

The more you cultivate the hegemonic inheritance, the harder it is to do it. According to common sense, if you want to achieve even a small degree of success in cultivation, you will have to spend a lot more time on it!

But Chen Pingan always gives people surprises, perhaps
A smile flashed in Gu Qingchan's eyes, and she did not delve further into the issue of cultivation.

Whether it is two years or three years, the specific time depends on the answer given by Chen Pingan himself.

"Thunder City, it's time to set off."

Gu Qingchan's mind turned, and she focused on the opportunity to obtain the True Scroll of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

hum~
A pale blue light lit up.

A coarse linen shirt appeared in Gu Qingchan's hand. It was of ordinary texture and had crude stitching. It looked like a product of two different worlds compared to the ice-blue palace skirt she was wearing.

Gu Qingchan held the coarse linen shirt in her arms, pressing it against her chest.

Gu Qingchan was affectionate and a little dazed, and the figure that had been haunting her appeared in her mind.

"Senior Night Owl."

The latest update of the Hidden Dragon List caused quite a stir in all regions of Daqian.

The name of Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is also known to countless forces.

On the Hidden Dragon List, there are geniuses on the list, and naturally there are also geniuses who are removed from the list.

Any change in it will cause shock to all parties.

In the aftermath of the shock, Chen Ping'an's carriage also arrived at Weishui County City. (End of this chapter)
